September 4th and 18th

Rookie bangers

Choice of car, An F reg 1.6 Ford Orion

This car was very unreliable in its first meeting. The first race the car did not even make the rolling lap as the throttle fell apart. With the help of Gromit (thanks) the car was ready for the next race where the car went much better and was flying until it started throwing oil out which caused the HT leads to fall off, retirement beckoned once more. For the third race we blocked all the oil over flow pipes and the car was running much better.  I fought  my way to the front and once again got spun and hit the wall nose first meaning retirement.
   The second meeting for this car my luck didn't change. It was flying in the first race and I was in the lead until I came into the corner too fast  and clipped some all ready dead cars which started to snap the Orion. Onto the second race and we managed to get the car back out but not very far, A drive shaft gave up on the rolling lap, Which meant yet another dead Ford because of a drive shaft.
